Re: Jan. 6, two words: Ashli Babbitt. An unarmed citizen and veteran shot dead by a capitol guard because? Because she tried to enter the peoples' house?

Striking how all of our elected representatives, both house and senate, ran away. I think Bobby Kennedy (senior) would have gone out to meet the protesters.

He had some baggage from his red-hunting days but he was no coward.

Yes, I like Vivek. He says the quiet parts out loud. He has good enemies.

I concur, all one needs to know, is what happened with Ashli. An unarmed small female gunned down in cold blood. No case was even presented on how she might have been a threat, were there 10 men with her charging them, did she have an unidentified object with her that could have been something dangerous. . . . The video I've seen shows several security guards just walking away calmly, hardly looking distressed, then an arm comes out and takes a shot at someone, what sense at all does this make in any scenario??

Does the FBI/CIA have such a stranglehold ('they have six ways to Sunday to get back at you') of fear on people in power, that these things are allowed to occur with no hope of justice? How else can we make sense of the in your face corruption and evil (gender affirming care) allowed to exist, barely challenged, in our land.

Rejoice always, pray unceasingly, in everything give thanks.

Was thinking the same thing myself the other day.

Not one person from Congress or anyone else Stepped outside to address the crowd.

Would have made a huge difference.

The people protesting on Jan 6 just wanted their voices heard.

An acknowledgement of that would have been a Master political move.

Another missed opportunity from our Feckless, weak, in everyone’s business except when calming a riot.

These are your constituents.

Why would you hide from them.

The whole scene is so bizarre.

My heart aches for those Jan 6 ers

They are all good people. And after that kind of betrayal. If they can get through it and find forgiveness for those cowardly weaklings in government. life will be especially good for them for the future.

As they’ll be prepared to deal with anything life throws at them.

And have a peace of mind that nobody can touch.

That’s a huge thing to go through as an American loving Patriot.

I wish them all Love and Strength.

Thank you January 6 ers . For standing up for our country and everyone in it. We love you!

I like him as well. He’s got more business on the stage than pigsty Christie. And NeoCon Nikki for that matter. IMO.

I’m with you 100% on Vivek. In my book, he’s smart, fearless and beholden to no one! What more could we need in this day and age of entrenched bureaucrats, a deep state, and a weaponize DOJ?

As for conspiracy theories, perhaps I’m a victim of paying too much attention lately, but with all that have recently been proven to be true, I’m beginning to suspect that whenever someone alleges a conspiracy theory, they’re the ones trying to hide something.

Remember, just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re NOT out to get you!

Replacement Theory is “conspiracy theory”? Possibly only by those attempting to promulgate the head fake. Tucker Carlson stated it as fact while still @ FNC (probably one of the reasons he was kicked out the door). Look @ the southern border & the invasion taking place since Bidung was installed.

Let’s remember who invented the term “conspiracy theory” - the CIA.

I agree. Smearing the concept as being white supremacy is the only flaw in an otherwise well-written piece. Seeing what's happening at the border and illegals given voting (and other) rights, how is this not replacing authentic US citizens OF ALL RACES?

Dutchmn007's avatar

To add to that one should recall Bidung waxing about “white supremacists being a danger to our democracy”; ok let’s unpack that:

🔹This nation was founded as a representational, constitutional republic not a democracy. The Founders hated democracy because they knew it would wind up in a dictatorship. Every time some Dem/leftist carps about “our democracy” it’s a deliberate head fake to muddy the waters & misinform as to the type of nation we have been as founded.

🔹 Where are all the “white supremacists”? I haven’t seen/heard any demonstrations of said group anywhere. On the contrary this appears a deliberate prepping of the ground to label any “anti-govt/anti-progressive/Republican/Conservative” as a “white supremacist/insurrectionist” & allow the govt to come down with a jackboot & criminalize any dissent.

The latter is why we’re learning that Jan 6 was a total set-up. A “Reichstag Fire” moment if you will. The Democrat Party has morphed into a party of fascism & utilizes that to its own ends.

UPDATE: to the last point above reinforcement just came down:

“America is less than a year out from its next likely sham of a presidential election, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is morphing into an anti-Trump SS-type paramilitary force to go after President Donald Trump's supporters.

A recent report by Newsweek highlights increasing chatter at the FBI and other federal spook agencies about how Trump supporters are likely to become more dangerous as the 2024 election approaches.’

“The solution, according to the FBI, is to track down, spy on and persecute Trump's supporters to deter them from voting.”

Good take Sasha! CNN hit job on Vivek, CBS hit job on Ron on Meet the Press, typical MSM gaslighting. Great moderating for this debate.

DeSantis won and Vivek rocked. This was the first strong showing by Desantis, Vivek stuck to his spoiler role. Nikki lost ground in the popular vote, but only because she was exposed as BlackRock's sweetheart. she didn't fumble but she was on her heels all night.

I love what Vivek does - exposing what we all are thinking. whether gender nonsense, Jan6, climate hoax or the corruption of both parties. He is obviously running for Trump's right hand. Maybe the next FBI director? AG? He may not be the next POTUS, but he sure as shit is needed in the next administration.

“Let’s talk about Vivek” says Megyn to Glenn Greenwald. Vivek gets called a Nazi by Van Jones and Dana Bash accuses him after the debate of using dog whistles to incite the “White Supremacists!” who are everywhere in AmeriKKKa and simply must be stopped. Yet another good example of the infinitely wide divide in our badly floundering society. I have no idea where we’ll all end up but I am certain that the days when America was a country are long gone and will never return. I also like Vivek and believe he’s easily the best candidate for the presidency. Trump is far too hated to govern if he won but could even someone as talented as Vivek govern a society as severely fragmented as this? In what sense is America even still a country?

Everything you stated is 100% true and the media is 100% responsible…

Journalism USED to be seen as an honorable profession; the ONLY profession mentioned in the Constitution but the mainstream media maggots have become aware of their power to influence and are all self-seduced so they ABUSE their duty to report the truth. EVERYTHING the media touches becomes inflamed and divided because they HATE that the truth is NOT on their side…

As Andrew Breitbart put it so well: “Democrats are NOT the enemy… The MEDIA is the enemy…”

I would say our ruling class is the problem and that goes way beyond the media. That includes elites in the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, Wall Street, Big Tech, Big Pharma, Hollywood and academia. Woke ideology permeates our society and supports this ruling class. I simply cannot see how we can survive this as a nation.

But the ruling class would have NO POWER if we had an honest media. The Media is a REALITY-DISTORTION device that can make a LOUD, whiny monitory appear to be bigger and more powerful than they are. A media who STOOD UP to the Ruling Class would make them shrivel like a penis in ice water…

“if we had an honest media“

And if pigs could fly by flapping their ears they’d be doing so. It’s also true that if we had an intelligent society people simply wouldn’t believe the slop tossed out by the media every day for them to believe. It’s very depressing to see how stupid so many of our “fellow Americans” are. This is just not working at all.

Thank-you for the summary and analysis, Sasha. Always insightful and informative. Vivek and Desantis are good for the country. Haley and Christie are warmongering neocons. Trump is the best chance to beat Biden or any other Dem.

But how could Trump govern if he won? Even Bret Weinstein says there will be massive social breakdown and anarchy if Trump gets back in the White House. The left has spent the last 7 years demonizing him as another Hitler, evil incarnate, Satan in the flesh and many in the general public believe this so how then could such a presidency function? How could that possibly work?

Libertarian's avatar

Hi Seva, maybe what will happen under Trump is the same thing that happened to Chicken Little when he kept screaming the sky was falling. Further, I think the Left will demonize any GOP winner. Finally, the FBI and DOJ need a serious overhaul and once that is done, many views will change as they get exposed for their corruption.

Maybe so Seva, but if anarchy happens , I say bring it on, especially when we have conservative leadership, hopefully in all branches. The scared-as-hell leftists will 'out' themselves in the biggest way, and we will have a law and order govt that will 'lock them up.' This country cannot silently march toward the cliff any longer. Our time is up. Bring it on -- none of us want to be slaves the these vulgar, pagan creeps.

Not 'blinded' MLB. We are fighting for our lives here, and for the avoidance of communist slavery. If they want to steal elections from us, steal taxes from us to pay for abortions and forgiveness of student loans, if they wanna 'set up' patriots for prison-time on a J6 lie , ....then the enslavement has already begun. We MUST throw if OFF NOW if we want a free future. I am CLEAR-EYED here MLB -- NOT blinded.

I think it is reprehensible that the Republican Party and the Republican National Committee wants to meld hand-in-hand with the Full Bucket of Idiots regarding what was alleged to happen on January 6, 2021. Everything that supposedly happened has been magnified by these goons, and twisted beyond belief, to the detriment of the entire nation.

How is it that we are getting messages about over 200 FBI agents being directly involved on that day?

The US has always required that those who are prosecuting a case in court need to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. Yet, when it comes to the Den of Jackals, they don't have to prove anything; the courts are giving them credit for just showing up.

How sick is that?!?

We are being replaced, whether we want to believe it or not.

Vivek is fearless and like Trump, being rich gives you freedom to tell the truth, regardless of how unpopular or how loonified it’s become through media mangling. The media is primarily responsible for Trump fatigue and pretty much everything else wrong in this country, I also agree that DeSantis is by far, the most competent. I WISH Trump and DeSantis would be the Nominee and the VP. They would be unstoppable…

Sasha, your accurate assessment of Vivek's performance contrasts sharply with the conclusion you drew as the debate winner. Apart from however much the debate seemed like a bread and circus game show, Ramaswamy was the standout winner in my book for all the reasons you so eloquently articulated.
